Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sputtering target producing few particles during deposition.
- the sputtering method capable of easily controlling the film thickness and components is being widely used as one of the deposition methods of materials for electronic and electric components.
- This sputtering method makes the targets formed of a positive electrode and a negative electrode face each other and applies a high voltage between these substrates and the target under an inert gas atmosphere in order to generate an electric field, and employs the fundamental principle in which plasma is formed upon the atoms ionized at such time colliding with the inert gas, the positive ions within this plasma colliding with the target (negative electrode) surface and discharging the atoms structuring the target, whereby the film is formed by the discharged atoms adhering to the opposing substrate surface.
- the problem of the production of particles has been attracting attention.
- the thin film is deposited within the walls of the thin film forming device and all over the materials and the like therein, in addition to the substrate, when a target is sputtered. Faces and side faces other than the erosion portion of the target are no exceptions, and the deposits of sputtered particles have been observed.
- flakes separating from such materials and the like within the thin film forming device directly flying on the substrate surface is considered to be one of the major causes for the production of particles.
- a sputtering target is connected to a backing plate having a larger measurement with such means as welding, diffusion bonding or soldering.
- the side face of the sputtering target to be connected to the backing plate is usually formed to have an inclined face broadening toward such backing plate.
- a backing plate plays the role of cooling the target by the back face thereof contacting a coolant, and materials such as aluminum or copper or the alloys thereof having a favorable thermal conductivity are used.
- the side face of the foregoing sputtering target is not the portion which will erode (become subject to wear) from sputtering. Nonetheless, since it is close to the erosion face of the target, there is a trend toward the sputtered particles flying during the sputtering operation further adhering and depositing thereto.
- the erosion face of a sputtering target has a smooth surface from the turning process, and the foregoing inclined side face is similarly subject to the turning process.
- An object of the present invention is to obtain a sputtering target capable of directly preventing the separating and flying of the deposit produced from the side face of the sputtering target, particularly between the target side face and the backing plate.
- the present inventors discovered that the production of particles within the deposition could be efficiently suppressed by devising the structure of the sputtering target and the structure between the target side face and the backing plate.
- FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of the cross section showing an example of the sputtering target—backing plate assembly.
- FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the cross section showing another example of the sputtering target—backing plate assembly.
- the sputtering target of the present invention may be employed in a rectangular or circular target, as well as targets of other shapes, and, since these targets are thick, they have all side faces. Although the side faces are often inclined faces as described above, the present invention may also be employed in sputtering targets having a structure of perpendicular faces or planar faces successive thereto. The present invention includes all of the above.
- the basic background of the present invention is as follows. As mentioned above, it has been observed that the sputtered particles (deposits) once adhered to the inclined side face are separated therefrom once again, float, and cause the production of particles, and, it has become known that, rather than from the vicinity of the flat peripheral erosion face, the separation of such deposits occurs more often from a location distant therefrom. Thus, in order to get to the bottom of the cause of production of particles, this phenomenon was foremost investigated.
- the sputtered particles adhering to the flat peripheral erosion face and the inclined face near such erosion face have a relatively fast speed and energy, and tend to have strong adhesiveness.
- the side face of the target is of a step shape as described above, at the side face distant from the flat erosion face, it has been observed that the particles separated in a pillar shape do not adhere in large amounts in layers, but rather adhere in small amounts in each step. And, this type of adhesion in a pillar shape tends to be much easier to peel off in comparison to a layered adhesion on a single face.
- the prime task was to suppress such separation and to prevent the separation of adhered particles that cause the production of particles from the sputtering target side face.
- FIG. 1 the structure of the sputtering target and backing plate assembly is shown in FIG. 1 .
- the sputtering target 1 is mounted on the backing plate 2 , and connected with row connection or the like.
- FIG. 2 is a modification thereof, and the backing plate area to which the sputtered particles fly and adhere during sputtering is made to be of the same material as the target 3 in the assembly of the sputtering target 3 and the backing plate 4 .
- this example illustrates a mode where the target 3 is embedded in the backing plate 4
- the edge portion of the target 3 is of a shape exceeding the backing plate area to which the sputtered particles fly and adhere during sputtering.
- the present invention is a sputtering target having a sprayed coating at least on the side face thereof.
- Reference numeral 5 in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 represents the sprayed coating.
- the material of the sprayed coating a material of the same quality of material as the target material may be used, or other materials may be used.
- the only limitation would be that it is desirable to use a material that will not contaminate the sputtering thin film to the substrate.
- the sprayed coating shows a unique anchor effect, this is not particularly limited unless it becomes a cause of contamination due to the sprayed coating separates as a result of the sprayed coating becoming vulnerable.
- used may be Ti, Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta, Mo, W, Al, Cu, alloys with these as the main component, and nitrides, carbides, carbonitrides, oxides thereof and the like.
- the backing plate material the ordinarily used copper, copper alloy, aluminum, aluminum alloy and the like may be used, and there is no limitation.
- the present invention may be used for sputtering targets in which the side face thereof to be connected to the backing plate is broadening toward such backing plate.
- the sprayed coating of the present invention it is desirable that the sprayed coating is formed successively along the sputtering target side face and the backing plate face.
- the formation of the successive sprayed coatings to the backing plate may be over the entire face in which the target is exposed, or may be in the vicinity of the connection with the target.
- the present invention includes all of the above. Therefore, it goes without saying that the sprayed coating may be employed in the structured depicted in FIG. 2 , and the sprayed coating may be formed successively along the sputtering target side face, lower planar face and backing plate face.
- a discoid target when viewed two-dimensionally which is high purity Ti (5N purity) having a diameter of 300 mm and thickness of 10 mm, was bonded with an Al alloy backing plate with diffusion bonding in order to prepare a sputtering target—backing plate assembly having an overall thickness of 17 mm.
- This structure is the assembly structure of the target and backing plate illustrated in FIG. 1 .
- a sprayed coating to which Al was sprayed and having a surface roughness of 16, 14, 17 ⁇ m Ra and thickness of 250 ⁇ m was formed on the side face of this target. This was mounted on a magnetron sputtering sputter device, TiN reactive sputtering was performed thereto, and a TiN film was formed until the thickness became 20 ⁇ m in order to examine the production of particles.
- a target outside the conditions of the present invention that is, a target in which a sprayed coating is not formed on the side face thereof was prepared
- reactive sputtering of TiN having a thickness of 4 ⁇ m was performed under the same conditions in order to examine the generation of particles.
- reactive sputtering of TiN having a thickness of 4 ⁇ m was performed under the same conditions upon preparing a target in which a sprayed coating having a surface roughness of 5 ⁇ m, 7 ⁇ m, 23 ⁇ m Ra was formed on the side face thereof in order to examine the production of particles (Comparative Example 1).
- the following results are an average of 10 sample tests.
- Sample Nos. 1 to 3 are the Examples of the present invention, and Sample Nos. 4 to 7 are the Comparative Examples.
- this Table the adhesive mode of the sputtered particles and the existence of separation were observed for each sample.
- Comparative Example Sample No. 4 without a sprayed coating formed on the side face thereof showed numerous separations of the deposited films on the side face with a TiN film having a thickness of 4 ⁇ m (regardless of the thickness or thinness of the film). This is considered to be because there is hardly any anchor effect of the side face. Moreover, with Comparative Examples Sample Nos. 5 and 6, this is considered to be because the anchor effect was low due to the surface roughness of the sprayed coating being small. With Comparative Example Sample 7, the sprayed coating itself separated most likely because the respective particle connection of the sprayed coating was weak.
- Example 2 Similar to Example 1, a discoid target when viewed two-dimensionally, which is high purity Ti (5N purity) having a diameter of 300 mm and thickness of 10 mm, was bonded with an Al alloy backing plate with diffusion bonding in order to prepare a sputtering target—backing plate assembly having an overall thickness of 17 mm structured as illustrated in FIG. 2 .
- high purity Ti 5N purity
- a sprayed coating to which Al was sprayed successively and having a surface roughness of 16, 12, 18 ⁇ m Ra and thickness of 300 ⁇ m was formed on the side face of this target and the backing plate. This was mounted on a magnetron sputtering sputter device, TiN reactive sputtering was performed thereto, and a TiN film was formed until the thickness became 30 ⁇ m in order to examine the production of particles.
- a target in which a sprayed coating is not formed on the side face of the sputtering target—backing plate assembly of the same structure was prepared in order to examine the generation of particles.
- reactive sputtering of TiN having a thickness of 3 ⁇ m was performed under the same conditions upon preparing a target in which a sprayed coating having a surface roughness of 5, 8, 25 ⁇ m Ra was formed on the side face thereof in order to examine the production of particles (Comparative Example 2).
- the following results are an average of 10 sample tests.
- Sample Nos. 8 to 10 are the Examples of the present invention, and Sample Nos. 11 to 14 are the Comparative Examples.
- the adhesive mode of the sputtered particles and the existence of separation were observed for each sample.
- Comparative Example Sample No. 11 without a sprayed coating formed on the side face thereof showed the deposition of sputtered particles in a pillar shape and numerous separations of the deposited films on the side face with a TiN film having a thickness of 4 ⁇ m (regardless of the thickness or thinness of the film). This is considered to be because there is hardly any anchor effect of the side face.
- the prevention effect of the separation of sputtered particles is high, and is further effective in preventing the production of particles.
- Example 2 Similar to Example 1, a discoid target when viewed two-dimensionally, which is high purity Ti (5N purity) having a diameter of 300 mm and thickness of 10 mm, was bonded with an Al alloy backing plate with diffusion bonding in order to prepare a sputtering target—backing plate assembly having an overall thickness of 17 mm structured as illustrated in FIG. 1 .
- high purity Ti 5N purity
- Al+5% Mg alloy was sprayed to the side face of this target in order to form a sprayed coating having a surface roughness of 14, 17, 19 ⁇ m Ra and thickness of 250 ⁇ m.
- Sample Nos. 15 to 17 are the Examples of the present invention, and Sample Nos. 18 to 20 are the Comparative Examples.
- the adhesive mode of the sputtered particles and the existence of separation were observed for each sample.
- Comparative Example Sample Nos. 18 and 19 showed separations of the sputtered particles. This is considered to be because the anchor effect was low due to the surface roughness of the sprayed coating being small.
- Comparative Example Sample 20 Although separation of the sprayed coating itself was observed, this is considered to be because the respective particle connection of the sprayed coating was weak, and the spray coating itself separated as a result thereof.
- a discoid target when viewed two-dimensionally which is high purity Ti (5N purity) having a diameter of 300 mm and thickness of 10 mm, was bonded with an Al alloy backing plate with diffusion bonding in order to prepare a sputtering target—backing plate assembly having an overall thickness of 17 mm structured as illustrated in FIG. 2 .
- Al+5% Mg alloy was successively sprayed to the side face of this target in order to form a sprayed coating having a surface roughness of 15, 13, 18 ⁇ m Ra and thickness of 300 ⁇ m.
- Sample Nos. 21 to 23 are the Examples of the present invention, and Sample Nos. 24 to 26 are the Comparative Examples. In this Table, the adhesive mode of the sputtered particles and the existence of separation were observed for each sample.
- Comparative Example Sample Nos. 24 and 25 showed separations of the sputtered particles. This is considered to be because the anchor effect was low due to the surface roughness of the sprayed coating being small.
- Comparative Example Sample 26 Although separation of the sprayed coating itself was observed, this is considered to be because the respective particle connection of the sprayed coating was weak, and the spray coating itself separated as a result thereof.
- Yielded is a superior effect of being able to directly prevent the separating and flying of the deposit produced from the side face of the sputtering target, particularly between the target side face and the backing plate.
